Does anyone here livestream?

>What site do you use
Picarto, Twitch and Youtube.
>What site do you prefer if multiple?
I've used Picarto the most as it's a dedicated art streaming service but would like to give Twitch a go once more. With Picarto I feel it's a bit more chilled out as I don't have as many random people showing up.
>Kind of art do you do on stream?
Personal Work, Commissions, Live request streams (have had some weird people hanging around in chat when I do those.)
>Average amount of viewers?
At the moment it ranges from up to 20 or so.

For me at least, more people means more stress/ less enjoyable as it's important to interact with your viewers/audience if you want to maintain interest. Trying to get my work done and hold 10 conversations at a time while answering questions can be hard. Some people can be extremely demanding which gets exhausting fast.

If you're looking for things to talk about with your audience, some of which might be audiences themselves, ask about them and their projects.

I like streaming because it forces me to get things done ( I can't just stop and stare at a wall for hours because there are people watching.)

You don't need a facecam (unless you're ridiculously good looking.)

You also don't always need to have voice chat on, a lot of the time I just play music from my stream playlist or an OST and talk with people in chat instead.

I should add that chances are unless you already have an established follower base, your first few streams might not have many (or any) people in attendance. This is fine. Keep working, be courteous and responsive to the people that DO show up. Keep showing your work on DeviantArt (or your preferred platform for sharing your work) and link your Stream in a Journal/Deviation whenever you're streaming so your followers know when to come. Good luck!

Thanks anon :) I did a test run on twitch yesterday to see if my computer could handle it and stuff and it did well (got 17 random views with 2 people sticking around until I was done. Helped I was drawing sexy girls probably). I just need to figure out how to get my music to play.

I've never used picarto but i've watched others stream on it. Does it work like twitch where you can tag things to get random people or do you have to pimp yourself out a lot?
